Primary Round-up - May 2026

In our Primary Round-up for March, we look at embedding multiplicative understanding in KS2. Also this month:

• Teaching time without the tears - primary teacher and Primary Mastery Specialist, Laura Smith, explores how we teach the tricky topic of time, and shares how teaching for mastery concepts can help
• Over 30 Maths Hub CPD opportunities for 2026/27 - discover fully-funded professional development opportunities for schools and teachers at every phase
• Primary subject knowledge audit - teaching a new year group next year? Assess your confidence across four key content areas of the maths curriculum with our handy subject audit tool
• Teaching averages in UKS2 using rich tasks with NRICH - join Liz and Charlie from NRICH on 9 June for a free webinar to explore a new low-threshold, high-ceiling task you can use with UKS2 pupils
• Join in this National Numeracy Day - sign up for the National Numeracy Day newsletter to find out how your school can take part in the fun on 20 May.
